The sea is the single greatest source of inspiration for the art
from the Solomon Islands, which are located northeast of New
Guinea. Artistic forms, embellishments, designs, functions, and
materials are drawn from a watery canvas that are subtly nuanced,
yet richly homogenous. In the art of the Solomons, there is a link
between the visual and the practical. Objects are created with an
understanding of pure, aquiline forms, and are shaped to give the
most graceful outline and poised balance. This book presents the
Conru collection of art from the Solomon Islands, which encompasses
a broad assortment of images, weapons, body ornaments and other
artifacts. So numerous and diverse are the objects from this island
group that it is difficult for a single collection to be totally
representative. However, the collection approximates a
representative status, comprising masks from Nissan and Buka, a
large figure from Bougainville, as well as imagery and other
artifacts from the western down through the southeastern islands.
The artworks range from the eighteenth to the early twentith
centuries.
